Casey looking to London Irish Academy stars in Singha 7s

Having won the Premiership Rugby 7s series back in 2012, with first-team stars like Shane Geraghty and Jonathan Joseph as part of the squad, London Irish fell at the group stage in 2013 before reaching the quarter-finals in 2014 – where they lost 26-10 to Harlequins.

This time around they travel to Kingsholm on August 20 to take on Gloucester Rugby, Bath Rugby and Exeter Chiefs.

The tournament has traditionally been a proving ground for young talent to put their hand up for first-team selection and this year will be no different, with plenty of talented tyros set to strut their stuff.
